This is not simply because the US has more billionaires resident than any other country - more than a quarter of the billionaire graduates who obtained their bachelor¡¯s degrees from these top US institutions born outside of the United States. The UK boasts just one university in the top 20.

Without further ado, here are the top 20 universities in the world for producing billionaires (and, where applicable, a link to the most relevant Times Higher Education World University Rankings page).
